History AlliterativeName / Literature

* {{Justified}} in ''Lierature/{{Ready Player One}}'': Wade Watts' father was a comic fan, and thought that an alliterative name sounded like a {{superhero}}'s {{secret identity}} a la Peter Parker and Clark Kent.

* ''Literature/JamesBond''

** Averted with Harriett Horner from ''Literature/{{Scorpius}}''. She's quick to point out that her second name (Irene) breaks the alliteration.

* In the last Franchise/JamesBond novel, M's full name is revealed to be Admiral Sir [[spoiler:Miles Messervy]], although his initials had been revealed back in ''Literature/{{Moonraker}}''. The book also introduces an American agent, Nick Nicholson. (The apparent lack of imagination on this note might be attributed to Fleming dying before he could properly edit it.)

* Bilbo Baggins of ''Literature/TheHobbit'' and ''Literature/TheLordOfTheRings''.

* ''[[GentlemanBastard The Lies of Locke Lamora]]'' by Scott Lynch

** Moody Spurgeon MacPherson

* Vladimir Nabokov was fond of giving his characters alliterative names: Humbert Humbert and John Ray Jr (J.R.JR) from ''Literature/{{Lolita}}'', Cincinnatus C. and his tormentors Rodrig, Rodion, and Roman in ''InvitationToABeheading'', Professor Timofey Pavlovich Pnin and Vladimir Vladimirovich in ''Literature/{{Pnin}}''.

* In the last ''Literature/JamesBond'' novel, M's full name is revealed to be Admiral Sir [[spoiler:Miles Messervy]], although his initials had been revealed back in ''Literature/{{Moonraker}}''. The book also introduces an American agent, Nick Nicholson. (The apparent lack of imagination on this note might be attributed to Fleming dying before he could properly edit it.)

* The protagonist of the MatthewReilly novels, Shane "Scarecrow" Schofield. Try saying ''that'' five times.

* The ''PinkCarnation'' series has Percy Ponsonby, the Duke and Dowager Duchess of Dovedale, and Serena Selwick.
* In the Creator/AgathaChristie novel ''TheABCMurders'', a murderer kills people who have such names in alphabetic order: first Alice Ascher, then Betty Barnard and Sir Carmichael Clarke. [[spoiler: It turns out at the end that the real target was Clarke, and the other two were only killed to create an image of a ThemeSerialKiller]].

* The web-novel Literature/{{Domina}} gives us Adam Andrew Anders. For bonus points, all three names [[MeaningfulName mean approximately "man."]]

* ''InDeath'': Jamie Lingstrom in ''Ceremony In Death'' refers to Satanic cult leaders Selina Cross and Alban as "Spooky Selina and Asshole Alban". Well said.

* ''Sisterhood'' series by Creator/FernMichaels: The book ''Deadly Deals'' features a character named Baron Bell. The book ''Home Free'' features a character named Jody Jumper, also known as Owen Orzell.
* Gail Carriger's ''Literature/TheParasolProtectorate'' series has a character who takes this to the extreme. His name? Channing Channing of the Chesterfield Channings.

* ''JenniferGovernment'' has Pearson Police and (briefly) Billy Bechtel.

* Many WWII-era adventure stories had these -- for example, RAF pilots Dave Dawson and Freddy Farmer, and their Pacific counterparts Red Randall and Jimmy Joyce.

* William Arthur Willis (Senior and Junior), Sir Williston Willis, and Sir Percy Pelham of the ''Literature/AuntDimity'' series.

* In ''Literature/ASeriesOfUnfortunateEvents'', the OddNameOut in both sets of triplets are these: Quigley Quagmire, Dewey Denouement.

** Fleur's suitor [[spoiler:and later husband]] is called Michael Mont. He [[DiscussedTrope discusses]] their fine names with Fleur.
--->'''Michael Mont''': Don't you bless the day that gave you a French mother, and a name like yours?
--->'''Fleur Forsyte''': I like my name, but Father gave it me. Mother wanted me called Marguerite.
--->'''Michael Mont''': Which is absurd. Do you mind calling me M.M. and letting me call you F.F.? It's in the spirit of the age.
* JaneAusten's ''{{Persuasion}}'':
** Anne Elliot's less deserving sisters have alliterative names. Elizabeth Elliot is the beautiful but evil eldest sister, and she would very much like to get married. However, preferably in such a way that her name would not be changed at all. She pursues her father's heir Mr Elliot, who is a future baronet and will inherit their mansion Kellynch Hall.

* Vladimir Nabokov was fond of giving his characters alliterative names: Humbert Humbert and John Ray Jr (J.R.JR) from ''Literature/{{Lolita}}'', Cincinnatus C. and his tormentors Rodrig, Rodion, and Roman in ''InvitationToABeheading'', Professor Timofey Pavlovich Pnin and Vladimir Vladimirovich in ''{{Pnin}}''.
